Prokaryotic Cells
Simplest organisms
± Cytoplasm is surrounded by plasma membrane and
Eukaryotic Cells
Characterized by compartmentalization by
an endomembrane system, and the
presence of membrane-bound organelles.
± Central vacuole ± plants, storage
± ºesicles (smaller)

Nucleus
Repository for genetic material
Directs activities of the cell
Usually single, some cells several, RBC none
± Nucleolus - region of intensive ribosomal
RNA synthesis
Surface of nucleus bound by two phospholipid
bilayer membranes
± nuclear membrane

Endomembrane System
Compartmentalizes cell, channeling passage
of molecules through cell¶s interior.
± Endoplasmic reticulum
c£
Endoplasmic reticulum
Largest internal membrane
Composed of Lipid bilayer
Serves as system of channels from the
nucleus
Functions in storage and secretion
Rough ER is ³rough´ because of associated
ribosomes (sites of protein synthesis
Smooth ER - lack associated ribosomes ±
contained embedded enzymes, catalyze
synthesis of carbohydrate and lipid
molecules

Endomembrane System
Golgi apparatus
± collection of Golgi bodies
D collect, package, and distribute molecules
